I think Pacman also saw the potential in exhibition matches and how much he can be paid, for me even though he is already rich, he can not afford to go back to that same old lifestyle he used to be, and he doesn't want his child to experience that same lifestyle he has back when he is not a boxer yet, and surely he can not perform any charity work if he himself is low on expenses, for me, it is still a good thing that he can warp a good fight that is only for entertainment and money as well,

Yep, I've said this in another thread where Pacquiao might coming back in exhibition fight against DK Yoo a Korean youtuber at the end on this year. He even said he could taking a professional fight if there's a boxer want to fight with him, there will be a good cash flow for Pacquiao since many people already waiting him to comeback regardless which boxer he will fight. I think the cost of presidential election are really high and that's why he want to recover it from boxing.

And that's why boxing is really a business because with the likes of Manny, one of the most charismatic boxer, he can still command fans to watch his fight even if this is just an exhibition match and then he can make money again, simply as that.

Well if he want to come back professionally, then he can do that as well. But obviously, he is no longer in his prime and maybe he will get knockout by somebody that his younger and stronger than him in 147 lbs. Might be better if he stays with just pure exhibition matches.

He deserve to make money because he worked hard to be a legend. Exhibition fights are not prohibited, and it's a way to entertain the fans, so that is still something to be proud of him, let's see if his first exhibition fight will be successful.

Do we still have a betting odds for such exhibition fight?

If I'm not mistaken, Manny's exhibition match will be in December so there might not be odds listed for this time. Maybe we will see it when we are about to approach that fight.

Of course, he can do whatever he wants, and he is best at boxing so maybe even if he is retired or other things to do like politics, he can still make money around with this exhibition. And I don't think it will hurt his legacy. There could be hard core fans of Manny who doesn't want him to do this, but no one can stop him if he wanted to do this to earn, just like the other retired boxers.
